What metals do you use?Updated a month ago

We’re committed to using high-quality, hypoallergenic materials that are safe for sensitive ears and support proper healing. Here’s a breakdown of the metals used in our piercing studs:

For Piercing Studs

Device Piercing Studs (used with our hand-pressurized device):

• Stainless Steel
  

• 24k Gold over Stainless Steel
  

• 14k Solid Yellow or White Gold
  
  

These materials are carefully selected to be safe and gentle during the healing process.

Flat Back Studs (used for needle piercings):

• 14k Solid Gold Fronts with a Stainless Steel Pin and Titanium Flat Back Post

• Select styles also feature Titanium Fronts

We only pierce with titanium flat backs because titanium is nickel-free, lightweight, and highly biocompatible—ideal for minimizing irritation and supporting safe healing.

Note: We do not pierce with 14k gold posts, as they can be softer and less stable during healing. You can, however, upgrade to 14k gold posts at your downsizing appointment for $20 per post after your initial healing period.

For Non-Piercing Jewelry

Our everyday earring styles (perfect for healed piercings) come in a variety of elevated materials, including:

• Sterling Silver
  

• 14k Gold over Sterling Silver
  

• 24k Gold over Titanium
  

• Solid 14k Gold

These pieces are great for sensitive ears and are designed to mix, match, and stack with your piercing studs for a custom look you’ll love.
